Everything they say is a lie
When everyone around you is a spy
Clandestine meetings searching for secrets ever so fleeting
Love her but don't look her in the eye
Assignment a trial by fire and design
Globe hopping and heart stopping two fates intertwined
Death stalks your path from Athens to Southampton
Silent as the grave you're a slave to the life

Now you're caught in the crossfire too late to conspire
Cause the gunman's put you out on the vine
The Bullet's Ballet is one that betrays the confidence of colleagues and friends
at the end of the day your life in dwindling away and it's only you and Death at the end
But the game has begun and they've already won, so why do you come ready to play?
Lay down your cards, see the Queen of Broken Hearts
Her eyes shades of lies mixed with grey
When the enemy is near you no longer fear
Because when Death comes to visit, she'll stay
